Adopting a Cat

Adopting a Cat

Our adoption process requires you to fill out an interview which helps us determine if you and the animal are a good match. You will also need to fill out an adoption contract. These forms must be submitted prior to you meeting the animal but do not commit you to the animal for which you are applying.

For the fastest possible response, please be sure to answer all mandatory questions in full, to obtain permission from your landlord for a cat (if applicable), and to let your references know that a RCHS representative will be contacting them (from a personal phone number, so the number will not show up as RCHS on caller ID.

You may either fill these forms out online or submit them via e-mail.

Online

Submit the form linked to below. It includes both the interview and adoption contract.

If submitting via fax then copy them to a word processor, fill out, then fax them to 888-701-8936

Typically you will receive the fastest response via fax.

It typically takes 2-3 business days for us to review your submissions. Once this is completed we will contact you to schedule a time and place for you to meet the animal. Finally, if you and the animal are determined to be a match you will then be asked to sign a copy of your adoption contract. It is important that you read and understand the adoption contract as it is considered a fully executed contract once signed.

Costs of Adoption

The adoption fees are typically $60 for one adult cat and $100 for a kitten under 6 months or a pair of adult cats.
For a pair of kittens under 6 months, the adoption fee is typically $150. Highly desirable animals such as purebred cats may have a special, higher adoption fee which will vary based on the expected level of interest. These adoption fees cover the cost of vaccinations to date, and spay/neutering.
